This Is Our End

You can stand there and smile; you can sit there and laugh,
but you can't trick me; I know it's a mask.
You're trying to lie to me and everyone else,
but why is it that you're lying to yourself?
You can calmly sit there and try to look cool,
but I know your emotions, and I know you're a fool.
I know inside you you're feelings rage.
The suspense builds with the turn of a page.
By day you're one person, by night another,
and neither of them have anything to do with each other.
I've watched you sink farther from your heart,
and all of this just tears me apart.
I sit here and cry, for you, not for me.
What you've become I wish you could see.
No words could I use to help me explain
what it does to me to see you in pain.
You're not there anymore, my dearest friend.
I hate to say this but this is our end

I wasn't looking for any kind of relationship. I was doing just fine on my own. My guard was up for a long time because of what had happened in the past. She pursued me. After a short time my guard wasn't as high but was still there. We became really close for almost two years and then she got a boyfriend. Which is great, but I knew things would change, just not to the extent they did. I was lied to on a regular basis. When she actually would make time for me, she was always on the phone texting him. But if they are together I don't get a text for hours. One of the last weeks we were friends, she asked me to hang out. I said yes, and what happened was she completely forgot we were supposed to hang out. This isn't the first time this has happened, but it was the last. She had told me that she couldn't be the same person for Mr anymore, but I was expected to be that for her. After the lies, being forgotten about for the last time, double standards, I had to end it. It wasn't easy and I still miss her.

I love this poem and I can't help but feel more and more connected. I feel like there is someone that finally understands me and won't lie to me. I had a best friend that was called Kaityln. We were the best of friends, we did what friends usually do. She comforted me and helped me through my toughest times. We contacted each other over hangouts and phone calls. Now, she ignores all my texts and calls. At school, she acts like I don't exist at all. There's this huge hole in my heart that someone needed to fill up. I need someone that could replace her and stop making me feel this way. I loved her as a sister but now, I hate her for turning me into this. I used to be a confident girl but now, I'm a wreck. I could relate to this poem in all the ways possible. Tears are brought to my eyes and memories flow back into my mind. They say that the only way to conquer fear and heartbreak is to fight it. This poem, strangely, helped me in all ways possible.

Don't worry! Everything will be fine sooner or later! Life is too short to spend it on hatred and betrayal!! So chilll.... Keep smiling... !! There are surely a lot of people who love u!! :-)

That is so true. This is really what happens around, in our life. From now on I can summarize life in 3 words: "It Goes On". Well friends come and go in our life but a family is forever.

I can relate so much to this poem, my heart is falling into pieces as I type this. My friendship was true, my loyalty was real, but I guess that wasn't good enough for her. The hardest part about it is accepting that my friendship never meant anything to her. The sad part that makes me cry, is now I hate her.

This poem seemed like it was meant for me. My dad slipped away because of disease. Our friendship was gone, but he had no control. I lost my dad and my best friend at the same time. Then we lost our dad to death, because of the horrible disease that robbed us of him.

I don't know what happened... my best friend in the whole world had betrayed me and told everyone my secrets out of the blue. Eventually she started telling lies about me. The rumors spread around the school getting worse and worse to the point that the principle had thrown me out of school. I have moved 2 times. She followed me the first time, and I called the cops, but she had lied her way out of it... She is harassing me and she betrayed me. I now trust no one. What she did was crazy... This poem is a mirror of how I feel.... I wonder if I can ever learn to trust. Please help.

This is a great poem because I had a best friend that I loved and cared for like she was my sister we were best friends for six years yet, one day she left me for another girl. That girl left her. After a while she didn't have anyone left to be her friend so, she went to another school. Now I don't know anything about her like we were never best friends but, I wish her the best because now I know whom I trust.

I had a best friend and she's changed so much. It hurts my heart to tell her I can't be friends because I'm afraid what she might become again or what she might do.. Everyday I see her, I can tell she cries at night.. Her eyes always puffy and I just feel bad, but things happen for a reason. I read this poem and I tried my hardest not to cry, but I couldn't help it. This is exactly what I feel is going on..

She's not only a best friend to me but a sister and a part of may family, I sacrifice a lot for her just to save our friendship for more than 4 years but still she give up on me. She better choose to end our friendship than to fix our misunderstanding, I felt so hurt and cried. I was able to please her but nothing happen, she just keep on sending me a group message that it seems I'm the one who committed wrong and mistakes. Now I'm trying to move on cause I know she is happy with her new friends and her boyfriend.

She was more then my bestfriend she was like the sister I never had. I told her everything. Out of the blue she just stopped talking to me no explanation NOTHING it's been over a year since. I lost my bestfriend and sister. No one can replace that empty space I feel inside. I cried for months. How can to best friends go from best friends to strangers HOW?

Today I made one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make in my life. I had to make the choice of letting my bestfriend go. The pain I feel I would not wish on my greatest enemy. A pain I can only compare to an elderly person losing their life long partner. 10 years of friendship to be forgotten as if it never was. I love you Sarai and I always will I just wish you didn't have to be the way you are. What happened to the girl I met in high school? The girl whose eyes took my breath away. The girl who's smile weakened my knees. The girl who's voice made the butterflies in my stomach go totally insane. My first love.... My queen.... And now just my most painful memory...

This is really true... It's like watching my situation in the mirror through words. my best friend isn't talking to me, and I don't even know the reason... I can't tell him my feelings as I know that he won't answer to that at all, and that would hurt me much more. I hope he returns or just that I get to know my fault so that I can tell him that I don't mean to hurt him in anyways and tell him sorry!

I just realized the man I cared deeply for had been unfaithful. He was not only my love but my absolute best friend. I lost both... but I know I am better off and will be happy again even though I am suffering from desperate sadness now.
